The book which I read in your library emphasizes on the role of the arts in society.
Correct answer: B. Emphasizes
- A. Read in
- B. Emphasizes
- C. Role of
- D. In society
Explanation
The word "emphasizes" is correctly used to mean giving special importance to something. However, it should be noted that "emphasizes" should not be followed by "on." Correctness: The correct usage is "emphasizes the role" rather than "emphasizes on the role." The error lies in the use of "on." Corrected Sentence: "The book which I read in your library emphasizes the role of the arts in society." The error in the original sentence is due to the incorrect phrase "emphasizes on." The correct form should be "emphasizes the role of."

About Prepositions
Prepositions link a noun or pronoun to the rest of the sentence, showing place, time, direction or relation. The difficulty is idiomatic rather than logical: English fixes particular prepositions to particular verbs and adjectives, so “good at,” “married to” and “differ from” have to be learned as units rather than reasoned out.
